Scala – initialization order of vals

Vals are initialized in the order they are declared (well, precisely, non-lazy vals are), so properties is getting initialized before loadedProps. Or in other words, loadedProps is still null when propertiesis getting initialized. The simplest solution here is to define loadedProps before properties: class Config { private val loadedProps = { val p = new … Read more

Clojure: creating new instance from String class name

There are two good ways to do this. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. The first is reflection: (clojure.lang.Reflector/invokeConstructor (resolve (symbol “Integer”)) (to-array [“16”])) That’s like calling (new Integer “16”) …include any other ctor arguments you need in the to-array vector. This is easy, but slower at runtime than using new with sufficient … Read more

Why aren’t copy constructors “chained” like default constructors and destructors?

The copy constructor doesn’t (can’t) really make a copy of the object because Derived::Derived(const Derived&) can’t access pdata to change it. Sure it can: Derived(const Derived& d) : Base(d) { cout << “Derived::Derived(const B&)” << endl; } If you don’t specify a base class constructor in the initializer list, its default constructor is called. If … Read more
